Hualiu Director

Chapter 310 Participating in the establishment of the "Founding of the Nation" project

Are there any jobs that cannot be pushed in China?That can only be the zz task.

Wang Jinghua asked Lin Hong to book a flight ticket back to the capital as soon as possible, and at the same time told Lin Hong what kind of mission it was.

It turns out that next year 2019 will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, the State Administration of Optoelectronics hopes to make a gift film, and the qualified ones to take on this task are Han Sanqi and Huang Jianxin from China Film Group.

Although the film's release date is set for next year's National Day, there is still nearly a year and a half to go, but for a gift film that strives for perfection, there will never be enough time.

So the State Administration of Optoelectronics approached China Film Group to talk about the request, and Han Sanqi and Huang Jianxin, the two bigwigs of the Chinese film industry, immediately nodded and agreed.

However, although these two bigwigs have unlimited resources, they don't think that only China Film Group can complete this difficult zz task, and Huang Jianxin and Wang Jinghua are old friends, so they thought of finding Lin Hong, a versatile international, for the first time. The big director came to help.

Hearing Wang Jinghua briefly explain the matter, Lin Hong knew what was going on.

In the previous life, the Chinese entertainment industry filmed a film "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. I didn't expect such a project in this world to happen on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Of course, Lin Hong would not miss such a good opportunity. You must know that this is not a simple film. This is a carnival for filmmakers and a gift to the 70th birthday of the motherland.

And how many actors and big shots in the industry Lin Hong can get to know in this movie, what a great opportunity this will be for him to promote the export of Hualiu movies.

After flying back to the capital, Lin Hong didn't return home and was sent to the China Film Base by Wang Jinghua. Fortunately, Lin Hong is now one of the big names in the domestic entertainment industry. Xiong Bin, the deputy general manager of China Film, greeted Lin Hong in person, which gave Lin Hong a great deal. face off.

As soon as we walked into the meeting of China Film Group, there were already hundreds of people in it one after another. Among them, directors Lin Hong knew like Chen Ge and Feng Gang also came, and more of them were well-known actors from China Film Group. Besides, there were some people Lin Hong didn't know.

Lin Hong greeted the acquaintances and wanted to find a seat at the back, but was greeted by Chen Ge to sit next to him. Lin Hong thought about it and he was younger now, but if he wanted to sit in the front Seems to qualify too.

"Director Chen Ge, what kind of charter is this project?"

Lin Hong was curious. He felt that Chen Ge, who came out of the compound, must know more about the inside story than himself.

"Actively do things, listen to the arrangement, don't ask for a signature!"

Chen Ge's three simple suggestions are basically the same as Lin Hong's own thinking.

If you encounter the zz task, you must do it well, and don't think about gaining fame, because this is not the performance of Lin Hong and the others.On the contrary, do things in a down-to-earth manner. Although the above does not mention it, they will see it in their eyes, and sooner or later they will reward you in other ways.

Soon, when the conference room was overcrowded, Han Sanqi and Huang Jianxin finally came.

The two of them did not go directly to sit down at the main seat, but shook hands with some acquaintances to say hello, and since Lin Hong was sitting in the first row, he must also shake hands with the two of them.

"Director Lin Hong, you are really young and promising!"

"Third Master has won the prize, I still have to come here and learn more!"

Han Sanqi is honored as the third master in the circle, which shows his status in the world.

"Young people, don't be too humble, but be aggressive. This project has a tight schedule and heavy tasks, and you young people need to work hard!"

As soon as Lin Hong heard this, he was convinced. It is an honor to be able to contribute to such a gift film, and Lin Hong himself has other plans.

"Third Master, if you and Director Huang can use me, just order them directly. I can reschedule the other tasks here."

Lin Hong expressed his attitude here. Han Sanqi and Huang Jianxin nodded in satisfaction immediately. Lin Hong was the first to respond to the call. Regardless of his young age, he has a good reputation and absolutely no problem with his abilities. That's a good start.

The meeting officially started. As Lin Hong guessed, the movie's name was initially set as "The Founding of a Nation", which was basically the final name.

The first major topic to be discussed next is the time point and main storyline of "The Founding of a Country".

Some people suggested starting from the Opium War, some thought it started from the May 21th Movement, and some even thought it started directly from the Jiaxing cruise ship in [-] years.

Everyone who spoke has their own reasons, and it is normal that opinions cannot be unified, after all, this is the first meeting.

However, everyone did not continue to entangle at this time. This matter was assigned to the screenwriting team that had not yet been established, and Lin Hong was honored to be invited to be a member of the screenwriting team. After all, he has won best awards in many international film festivals. As for the screenplay awards, he is also ranked in the top of the entertainment circle in terms of screenwriting ability, who gave him a golden finger.

The next thing to discuss is plastic surgery for actors, which is also a problem that everyone cares about.

Huang Jianxin's opinion is to invite big-name actors as much as possible after the script is finalized.

Han Sanqiu also said that everyone here should mobilize their own relationships, and expressed the hope that "The Founding of a Nation" will be a star-studded gift film.

Lin Hong was a little disappointed after hearing the words of the two big men. He always felt that these two people were not as good as the two similar flowers in the previous life, and the pattern seemed to be a bit small.

Perhaps seeing Lin Hong frowning, Han Sanqi smiled and asked Lin Hong if he had any thoughts.

"Third Master, Director Huang, and all the seniors here, I think we don't need to worry about the cast for such a movie.

To be honest, in the current environment of the entertainment industry, most of the actors' awareness is still very high, so I don't think we should contact the actors, but all the actors should be in order to compete for the role of this movie. feel proud.

Judging from the story content of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", there will be hundreds of historical figures and characters involved in it. If we have to find every actor, the workload will be too great.

I think we can take advantage of the policy, raise our profile a little higher, and let all the actors know that there is such a tribute film, and the opportunity to perform is very rare. This kind of glory, and then let them actively adjust their schedules to match our shooting. "

What Lin Hong said made everyone here suddenly open up a new way of thinking, yes, "The Founding of a Nation" is a gift film, and letting you play it is to give you face, and you still want to wait for us to invite you, dreaming?

As soon as everyone's thinking was opened, the big problem of choosing actors was almost solved in an instant.

"In addition, I think that if you can use special actors, try to use special actors, and don't use other actors who rely on makeup to replace them. After all, this is a star drama, and everyone's appearance time is very limited. Bring the audience into the plot in a short time.

I also suggest that more actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan can be used appropriately, so that there will be a better effect on the degree of unity.

The last point, because this is a gift film, we have to do a good job of reviewing the actors who come to sign up to participate in the film, and we will not use any bad or blemishes.

These are some of my personal suggestions on casting actors, please forgive me if I am immature! "

Lin Hong's suggestions are very valuable for reference, and everyone nodded after listening to them.

"Well, Director Lin Hong's idea is a good idea, we can give it a try."

Han Sanqi had spoken, and this idea of ​​choosing actors certainly had the value of experimentation.

Then we discussed some topics related to filming. For example, although the two producers are appointed as directors, there are too many scenes in such a movie. It is unrealistic to rely on the two of them to shoot them in a year and a half. Sometimes you need a lot of executive directors.

The three of them, Lin Hong, Feng Gang and Chen Ge, were recruited on the spot, and several directors who missed the meeting today will also participate in the filming.

Lin Hong and the others didn't mention the signing, just kidding, everyone is a big director, so we don't want to lose face by making you an assistant director so easily.

And Han Sanqi and Huang Jianxin don't want the assistant director to be followed by big directors like Lin Hong, Feng Gang and Chen Ge, because the audience may think that the assistant director is more famous.

In order to avoid such embarrassment, everyone tacitly did not mention the assistant director.

The meeting lasted all day, and Lin Hong's biggest feeling was that China Film's work meals were not as good as Hualiu's. However, Lin Hong's harvest today was not small, except for getting an unsigned executive assistant director and a signed screenwriter In addition to being a member of the team, he also won the status of an investor in "The Founding of a Nation" for Hualiu Film and Television.

Although it is only a small part of the share, it represents the recognition of Hualiu Film and Television in the mainstream field, which is of great significance.

So when Lin Hong told Xiao Di and the others the good news, fireworks were set off in the WeChat group of the entire Hualiu senior management.

"Okay Lin Hong, it's useful to lie down for so long after returning to China! + Firework emoji" Liao Xingmin had a lot of opinions about Lin Hong not coming to work in the company for a long time. Now that he has contributed to the company, he finally felt more balanced.

"Lin Hong, you are already a mature chairman, you have to learn to find things to do yourself!" Kong Xiao has already started to prepare for the "Spider-Man" project, and Lin Hong is like a shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything. Now He took over the work related to "The Founding of a Nation" again, and this "Spider-Man" must be delayed again.

"I don't care. If you don't give me a role in "The Founding of a Nation", we will break up our friendship." Li Xian is now guest-starring in the filming of Lu Xiaonan on the crew of "Crossing the Line of Fire". "Lonely", this is also the script written by Lin Hong, but it is a pity that in the end he handed over the script to Wang Chun, the extremely delicate new female director who appeared with him on "Ask the Director for Advice".

"Lin Hong, do you have enough photographers in China Film?" Zeng Shuming once again thought of rubbing against Lin Hong.

"Old Zeng, you are enough. You went to Scotland to shoot "Joker". It took two or three months to shoot. This time it will be my turn." Given your background, why did you Zeng Shuming become Lin Hong No. [-] queen?Just because I'm good at lighting lights?

"Lighter, do you have any objections!" Zeng Shuming felt that he had to protect Lin Hong's reputation as the No. [-] photographer.

"Bah, don't be arrogant, you kid. Isn't it just a nomination for the Shanghai International Film Festival? What's so great about it." Xing Wei was very dissatisfied with the organizing committee of the Shanghai Film Festival, because the company clearly declared the names of Zeng Shuming and Xing Wei. In the end, although he was nominated, he only recognized Zeng Shuming's No. [-] photographer.

"What's the fuss, aren't you the nominee for the Golden Horse Awards?" Zhang Wentong was already used to the noise of these two live treasures.It may be because Xing Wei was ashamed of Xing Wei at the Shanghai Film Festival. When "The Truman Show" applied for the Golden Horse Award, the best photography award was filled with Xing Wei, and only his name was written, and then the nomination was announced not long ago At that time, Xingwei was indeed on the list.

"Haha, same joy, same joy, aren't you also nominated for the best art director!" Xing Wei was very happy when he heard Zhang Wentong say that. Nominated for Best Cinematography.One thing he has to do every day is to count how many days he has left to go to Treasure Island, and sometimes he can't help but see what the weather is like on Treasure Island, which shows how fancy he is about this nomination.

"Virtue! + Nose-picking emoji" Lin Hong drifted past silently.
